SECTION 230910 MECHANICAL SYSTEMS COMMISSIONING: continued
a. Process of verifying proper hardware and wiring installation.
b. Process of downloading programs to local controllers and verifying that they are
addressed correctly.
c. Process of performing operational checks of each controlled component.
d. Plan and process for calibrating valve and damper actuators and all sensors.
e. A description of the expected field adjustments for transmitters, controllers and
control actuators should control responses fall outside of expected values.
4. A copy of the log and field checkout sheets that will document the process. This log
must include a place for initial and final read values during calibration of each point and
clearly indicate when a sensor or controller has “passed” and is operating within the contract
parameters.
5. A description of the instrumentation required for testing.
6. Indicate what tests on what systems should be completed prior to TAB using the control
system for TAB work. Coordinate with the CA and TAB contractor for this determination.
7. List and clearly identify on the as-built duct and piping drawings the locations of all static
and differential pressure sensors (air, water and building pressure).
I. TAB Contractor. The duties of the TAB contractor, in addition to those listed in (A) are:
1. Submit the outline of the TAB Plan and approach for each system and component to the
CA for review and comments. This Plan will be developed after the TAB has some familiarity
with the control system. The CA shall prepare a TAB Verification Test Plan
based on these documents.
2. The submitted plan will include:
a. Certification that the TAB contractor has reviewed the construction documents and
the systems with the design engineers and contractors to sufficiently understand
the design intent for each system.
b. An explanation of the intended use of the building control system. The controls
contractor will comment on feasibility of the plan.
c. All field checkout sheets and logs to be used that list each piece of equipment to be
tested, adjusted and balanced with the data cells to be gathered for each.
d. Discussion of what notations and markings will be made on the duct and piping
drawings during the process.
e. Final test report forms to be used.
f. Detailed step-by-step procedures for TAB work for each system and issue: terminal
flow calibration (for each terminal type), diffuser proportioning, branch
/submain proportioning, total flow calculations, rechecking, diversity issues, expected
problems and solutions, etc. Criteria for using air flow straighteners or relocating
flow stations and sensors will be discussed. Provide the analogous explanations
for the water side.
g. List of all airflow, water flow, sound level, system capacity and efficiency measurements
to be performed and a description of specific test procedures, parameters,
formulas to be used.
h. Details of how total flow will be determined (Air: sum of terminal flows via BAS
calibrated readings or via hood readings of all terminals, supply (SA) and return air
(RA) pitot traverse, SA or RA flow stations. Water: pump curves, circuit setter,
flow station, ultrasonic, etc.).
i. The identification and types of measurement instruments to be used and their most
recent calibration date.
